Kathleen Brown, Former Ca State Treasurer, to Tell Brown Family Story At Calaveras County HistoricalVallecito, CA...Ms. Brown will share her family’s story and her efforts to learn more about her family’s roots and the Vallecito area. Her grandmother, Alice M. Cuneo, was descended from the Giovanni Batiste Cuneo family, early settlers who built the Cuneo Building in Vallecito in 1851. In a recent interview she commented: “Just imagine the miners and the people who came to shop at the store which offered an unbelievable range of everything from picks and shovels to vermicelli and champagne!”

The Brown family’s connection to Vallecito was renewed last fall when her brother,Jerry Brown, Governor of California at that time, was spotted in the area looking for traces of his ancestor’s building. Vallecito resident Joel Metzger struck up a conversation with Governor Brown and subsequently wrote a news story published last fall in the Calaveras Enterprise about the visit.

Upon learning of the family’s history in Calaveras County, the Historical Society reached out to Kathleen, “self-appointed historian” of the Brown family, to request that she tell her family’s story to a local audience.

Ms. Brown will share her family’s story of their ancestors and the Vallecito area on Thursday, September 26th at the Chatom-School Street Winery in Vallecito, located at 1969 Highway 4.
